At last, UK post-punk quartet Savages have shared details of their debut record. Silence Yourself will be released May 7 via Matador and frontwoman Jehnny Beth's Pop Noire label. Hear a song from the album, "She Will", below. Above is the Silence Yourself cover art, which features a striking piece of prose centered on the title of the record and the noise that disturbs contemporary life.

"She Will":

Silence Yourself follows the group's brutally austere debut single and 2012 live EPI Am Here, tracks from which were re-recorded for the LP in December 2012. The album opens with an excerpt from the 1977 John Cassavetes film, Opening Night. It was produced by Johnny Hostile and Rodaidh McDonald.

Watch director Nathan Corbin's mini doc on Savages' trip to New York last fall, soundtracked by Savages side-project HTB, after the tracklist. Also below, read a mission statement written by Savages this year and included in their press release.

SAVAGES is not trying to give you something you didn’t have already, it is calling within yourself something you buried ages ago, it is an attempt to reveal and reconnect your PHYSICAL and EMOTIONAL self and give you the urge to experience your life differently, your girlfriends, your husbands, your jobs, your erotic life and the place music occupies in your life. Because we must teach ourselves new ways of POSITIVE MANIPULATIONS, music and words are aiming to strike like lightning, like a punch in the face, a determination to understand the WILL and DESIRES of the self.
